How to get a Intrinio API key

Intrinio issues a sandbox key (sample data) and a production key on the account page.

Before you start

  • An Intrinio account

Create your Intrinio API key

  1. 1

    Sign up

    Create an account at intrinio.com.

  2. 2

    Open API keys

    In the account dashboard, open API Keys to see the Sandbox and Production keys.

  3. 3

    Save the key

    Store the production key as INTRINIO_API_KEY once a subscription is active.

Test the key

Before wiring the key into a strategy, make one request by hand. It separates “the key is wrong” from “my code is wrong”.

curl -s "https://api-v2.intrinio.com/securities/AAPL/prices?api_key=$INTRINIO_API_KEY&page_size=5"
A stock_prices array means the key works.

Keep the credentials safe

  • Store values in a password manager or a git-ignored .env, never in code or notebooks you share.
  • In an AlgoGP project you can still add them under APIs & keys (encrypted at rest) and read them with strategy_runtime.secrets.get("INTRINIO_API_KEY").
  • Give each bot its own credential so you can revoke one without stopping the others.

Design and backtest your Intrinio strategy first

AlgoGP turns an idea into Python and tests it on years of history before you connect it to Intrinio. The exported code keeps the broker behind four small adapter methods.

  • AI copilot writes and revises the rules
  • Backtests with realistic costs
  • Exported Python ready to wire to Intrinio

How the Intrinio API works

AlgoGP is not affiliated with Intrinio. Menus get renamed from time to time; if a label differs, the official documentation has the current path.
